When this same problem occurred for me, I cleaned and tightened the gas cap, then disconnected the battery cables for about 15 minutes, and then presto, no more idiot lights. I assume that by resetting the computer by disconnecting the battery cables, if something was wrong, after reconnecting the cables the idiot lights would come back on, right?

The "trac off" and "vsc" lights (and obviously the airbag) both came on when i changed steering wheels also. Im going to take to the dealer sometime soon hopefully it can be taken care of. Will these lights being on hurt performance in any way?? A reply here said the gas mileage would suffer. Does anyone know any FACTS?

damn... this many people with the lights on. well, mine is also on and it idles like crap and once reached 3000 rpm, it boggs.
did anyone experience this? I took my batt terminal off to clean the corrosion and after I was done, termonal cables back on and this all started to happen. The car will run, I had to drive it to work and back today but I like said, it bogs after 3000 rpm.

Check Engine . VSC, Trac Off
MEE TOO!!!
I was told it's just the sensor and they are replacing it, I hope it isn't anything more!
I hate those lights! They've reset the sensor several times,,,
Check Engine, VSC, Trac Off GO AWAY!

My car needed a new cam shaft?...
They replaced it and the lights haven't come back on. Yippy!!!
It's weird that o many people have had that exact same problem. All around the same mileage too! Well, the dealership told me that all of the lights come on whenever anything is wrong so we could all have a different problem. I'm not sure what caused it but I'm very happy those pesky lgihts are no longer lit!

My vsc light and trac off light came on after i hooked up a after market tac and i keep reading about this EFI fuse but cant figure out where it is ? so where can i find this fuse?

So do we have a definitive answer as to what these warning lights mean? My '05 with just under 72K lit up tonight with the VSC/TRAC OFF/CHECK ENGINE light combo. Seems to be driving okay, I can't tell a difference in anything. I've been using a shop for service that's not my original dealer... do I have to go to the dealer for a warranty thing like this might be?

Update from my post last night... I filled up this morning, and the lights went off! They had come on when the gas gauge was between halfway and a quarter tank left. Very strange, I guess I'll need to keep my eye on it.

Same warning lights - dealer diagnosis
My '06 xB had this same group of lights come on. Once in awhile they are not on, but are mostly all the time. My dealer said it was the cam timing gear, and that he has seen it on a couple other xB's. They are replacing it under warranty (my lights came on around 25,000 miles, and I now have close to 29,000 in my first year. I'll update to let you know if it worked.
UPDATE: I got it fixed under warranty last week, the tsc works again, and the lights are now off. They said they replaced the cam timing gear.

Well, my RS2 with 54k miles on it has the issue now.
I was driving back to the office from lunch and the CEL/VSC/TRAC OFF lights all came on. I stopped by my dealer (it was on the way), and they said they were swamped and for me not to worry and bring it back in the morning...so....
(and yes, it has the yellow powdercoated Scion/AEM CAI)
